The Ukrainian only narrowly beat Yafan Wang in a scrappy encounter before thrashing the 21st seed Magdalena Frech 6-1 6-1. Tauson only dropped three games in her sole match against Lucia Bronzetti. Starodubtseva&#8217;s game is more naturally suited to opponents who allow her time on her shots, making Tauson a challenging matchup. An upset is possible, but the Dane starts as the favorite.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Tauson in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Belinda Bencic vs Karolina Muchova<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head: Bencic 2-1 Muchova<\/p>\n<p>Bencic needed her best tennis to beat the now-retired Eugenie Bouchard in a high-quality three-set battle. Muchova&#8217;s 7-5 7-5 win against Antonia Ruzic was much scrappier. The 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/category\/french-open\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">French Open<\/a> runner-up has struggled to string together a consistent run of good performances this year, partially due to injuries. I trust Bencic&#8217;s level more, and the Olympic Gold Medalist&#8217;s significant advantage in backhand-to-backhand exchanges might prove crucial.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Bencic in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"T2giL-FBTIpajABMYjFQHg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2227106171\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'T2giL-FBTIpajABMYjFQHg',sig:'Lt0fbjTOYoX1GkHq4hNaRL3IO487TBk82DokzEQ86kg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2227106171',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Jessica Pegula vs Anastasija Sevastova<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head: Pegula 1-1 Sevastova<\/p>\n<p>35-year-old Sevastova does not have much to lose against the two-time defending champion Pegula. She has already had a great tournament after overcoming Ajla Tomljanovic and Magda Linette. Despite Pegula&#8217;s struggles since reaching the Miami Open final in March, she should have few problems here. The conditions suit her game perfectly, and she is one of the best hard-court players in the world at her best.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Pegula in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Amanda Anisimova vs Emma Raducanu<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head: Raducanu 2-0 Anisimova<\/p>\n<p>Raducanu did not drop a set in triumphs against Anisimova at this year&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/category\/australian-open\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Australian Open<\/a> and Miami Open. The Briton&#8217;s game suits soaking up pressure, and she made that count in those meetings. However, I give last year&#8217;s runner-up Anisimova a very slight edge in Montreal. The conditions are a little quicker than in Melbourne or Miami, which helps the American more in this matchup. It could easily go either way, though.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Anisimova in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Main Photo Syndication: Desert Sun<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The remaining WTA Montreal round of 32 matches are scheduled for Day 6.
